"These muskets were used for training in bayonet fighting."

and I was digging the net for the last one hour thinking this was a muzzle loader made by the Konyak tribes.

Thanks for the answer "winnie the pooh". You saved my day.

Naah... anyone can see its a custom built telescopic touchpad pointer

I know what it is....... some one designed a muzzle loader, realized half way through charging powder that he had forgotten to design the firing mechanism.

yes even with padded jacket and mask one did feel a little out of breath, if you did not get hit by one end you got hit by the other.

Very interesting topic,Nags.

Back in the NCC days, I was in the Bayonet Fight team too.Did with the real ones against the stuffed dummy and then with scabbarded ones against the instructor.
